Your Watchlist: Feedback Wanted!

When you go to the ChinesePod "Conversations" section your "Watchlist" is featured prominently in the sidebar, right under your mini-profile. This provides you with a place for easy click-through to see what certain people have posted about recently. Using the "Show" drop-down box on the Conversations page, you can also choose to view only posts/comment threads by people in your Watchlist.

That was the thinking.

The question is, how are users really using their Watchlists? So now the question is going out to you.

Some specific questions:

Do you use the Watchlist at all?

Do you use the Watchlist as a "friend list," or do you actually frequently click through to see what those people are posting?

Do you ever use the "Show" drop-down box to show only the new content from people in your Watchlist, or do you not find that useful at all?
